The bill reported BY the senate com
mlttee on foreign relations empower
ing the President to exclude Canadian
trade from the ports Of the United
States, was passed with but one dissent
ling vote. During the discussion the waves
of eloquence ran high, and Mr.. ingalls,
Of Kansas gave vent to his feelings in q
neat little speech, from which we clip the
following choice selections: England
has always been rufian, a coward
and bully among the nations Of the
earth; insolent to the weak, tyrannical
to the feeble, and cringing and obse-
quious to the strong. Her history for
centuries has been record of crime
against the human race-in Ireland,
in Scotland and in Wales against the
Roman Catholics: against the Beers Of
South Africa, against the Hindoos and
the Chinese. Wherever there has been
a feeble, a weak, a helpless nation,
Great Britain has been there for the
purpose Of rapacity, plumber and con-
quest. England bears no good will to.
this country. The memory of two de-
feats rankles, I dare say, in the breasts
Of Englishmen. :. Her course has al
ways been one of wrong, insolence,
and outrage. =. There are few Ameri-
cans who do not regret Waterloo Cd.
There are few Americans who do not
recognize the fact that the course of
England toward this country has been
one of insolence and suspicion and out
rage from the beginning of our national
existence. There is great deal of truth
in the above; yet it was hardly proper
for the wild Kansan to talk in that way
on the floor of the national senate
chamber. We think that the existing
troubles can be adjusted peaceably,
provided the administration does not
lack the requisite ability for the per-
torrance OF such a task.
The friends Of high license held a
meeting in the grand opera house, St.
Paul, Sunday evening. Gov. McGill
presided. We clip the following from
his remarks on calling the meeting 10
order. ''This meeting was called for
the purpose of holding up the hands of
those men in the legislature who were
leading in the high license movement
and encouraging the friends of the
cause in that body. When the legisla-
ture first convened high license was an
assured fact, but there has been an APP
parent change-perhaps more apparent
than real. The liquor interests are
splendidly organized, and are really in
that respect worthy example to the
law and order people of this state. They
have been at work in the legislature,
and have accomplished results which
have alarmed the friends othigh license.
1t is now desired that we organize and
do the work which has been too much
neglected. He was followed by a
number of speakers all in favor Of high
| license of course and number of them
intimating that undue influences were
used in the Legislature to defeat high
license bill at this session. In the
House, Monday Representative Rogers
introduced the following resolution
which was unanimously adopted: "Re
solved, That the speaker at once appoint
a committee of five to investigate and as
certain if any corrupt influences, either
monetary or otherwise, are being usec
to influence the members of this house
on any measures pending before this
house, or likely to be brought before it
!: And as to whether detectives are EN-
ployed to watch the members of the
house, with power to send tor person:
and papers. In the Senate similar
resolution was offered by Senator Dur
ant, but, notice of debate being given
it was laid over until Tuesday. No ont
denies the friends Of high license thu
right to meet and work in favor of thei
measure but they should be very core
full and not accuse men opposed t.
them as being influenced by monetar,
{ or any other corrupt means.
